About

Please join the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for the third webinar in a three webinar series for the recent report, High and Rising Mortality Rates Among Working-Age Adults.

In March 2021, the Committee on Population (CPOP) at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released the report High and Rising Mortality Rates Among Working-Age Adults. In this webinar, CPOP explores the role of cardiometabolic diseases and obesity in contributing to rising mortality rates among working-age adults (i.e., middle-aged and younger adults ages 25-64 years). Join us as we develop a deeper understanding of these complex phenomena and discuss implications for policy and research.

Speakers include:

Kathleen Mullan Harris, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
David M. Cutler, Harvard University
Ryan K. Masters, University of Colorado Boulder

An archived recording of the webinar will be posted on the National Academies website after the event.
